It was a month or so later when Calypso's father came to visit again. Something wasn't right with him. He seemed thinner and paler. He probably just has a cold or something, Calypso reassured herself. She was doing well in school. A 92 average. She'd made new friends in school, and she was especially close with Brooke Sans, a girl in her class with a knack for writing. Everything seemed to be perfect. She had good home, she had good friends and she had a good boyfriend. Alex argued that Aiden isn't a good boyfriend, and that she'd be better off with Ravi. Each conversation went something like this:

"He's a perfectly good boyfriend, Al."

"He's practically an end table, Cal."

"He's always there for me."

"...to set magazines on. As I said, end table."

"Do your homework."
